“Picking up immediately after the cliffhanger of Book 1, Golem of Venice Beach: Book 2 finds Adam the Golem caught in the middle of a gang war while trying to protect two runaway teens,” said writer and creator Chanan Beizer. “To make matters worse, Jake finds himself under the watch of those very same gang members while his uncle Steph tries to mend the rift between Adam and Jake. Things come to a head when Stephan is kidnapped. Adam and Jake must save him, but first Jake must find a way to put Adam back together and repair the Golem that’s been part of his family’s legacy for over 400 years.”
